FULLTIME LECTURE SERIES

This sold out event was held at the hollywood theater on March 3rd 2017.

Our very first speaker was AARON DRAPLIN - yep, you heard correctly, we got Aaron Draplin from Draplin Design Co to come to Pittsburgh for a full day and just lay it all out for all of us. On Friday March 3rd 2017 there were 2 opportunities to engage with this man full force.

There was a 3 hour Workshop for 24 lucky people - at CommonWealth Press from 1pm - 4pm

Next we hosted a full on Lecture at the Hollywood Theater in Dormont that evening from 7:30pm - 9pm.

the Lecture opened doors at 6:30 we all hung out - grabbed some DDC merch, talked w/ the man himself, enjoyed a few drinks thanks to Hitchhiker Brewing, and chatted w/ other like minded folks before he took the stage.
